2021-01-09T21:16:45.458Z


In the extended lockdown, corona hotspots with an incidence of over 100 can limit the range of motion of citizens to 15 kilometers - this is how you find out your radius.


In the extended lockdown, corona hotspots with an incidence of over 100 can limit the range of motion of citizens to 15 kilometers - this is how you find out your radius.

  • According to the

    federal-state resolution

    ,

    movement

    restrictions are possible in the future.

  • A

    web tool

    helps

    you

    find out the

    15 kilometer radius

    for

    your

    own

    place of residence

    .

  • It

    is still unclear

    whether all

    federal states will

    enforce

    the new

    Corona

    * rule - that's how

    Hesse

    and

    Lower Saxony

    decided.

Update from Friday, January 8th, 2021, 12 noon: The

federal and state governments agreed on Tuesday (January

5th, 2021

) to extend the lockdown until the end of January and also

issued

stricter

contact

restrictions

.

This also includes a controversial 15-kilometer rule - which states that residents of a hotspot with a

7-day incidence

of over 200 are only allowed to move within a radius of 15 kilometers around their place of residence.

But the states could

decide for

themselves in their

Corona ordinances

- this is what the rules for the radius of movement in

Hesse

and

Lower Saxony

look like

:

  • Hesse:

    According to information from the Hessian State Chancellery, the restrictions on the

    15-kilometer

    radius

    of movement

    in the

    hotspots are

    only applied to day-

    trip trips

    .

    The city or municipality boundary is decisive for calculating the radius, so that the radius can vary depending on the size of the place of residence.

    The districts of Fulda and Limburg-Weilburg are currently (as of January 8, 2020) in Hesse.

    Vogelsberg and Giessen over the incidence of 200.

  • Lower Saxony:

    The

    crisis team of

    the State of Lower Saxony presented the new

    Corona regulation

    on Friday (January 8th, 2021)

    , which will apply from Sunday (January

    10th, 2021)

    : With regard to the 15-kilometer rule, with a

    7-day incidence

    of More than 200 the authorities are allowed to decide whether a 

    restricted range of motion of 15 kilometers should

     apply.

    In addition, the authorities can also issue a ban on entering certain public places.

Corona lockdown: This is how you can calculate your own 15-kilometer radius

Initial report from Thursday, January 7th, 2021, 1:39 p.m .:

Kassel - Regarding the new

corona measures decided by the federal and state governments

on Tuesday (January

5th, 2021

)

Among other things, the controversial

15-kilometer regulation

counts

.

However, this only takes effect from a

7-day incidence

of over 200

new infections

per 100,000 inhabitants.

It is then up to the federal states

to take

local measures

to limit

the citizens' radius of movement to

15 kilometers

around their place of residence.

But how do you find out

exactly

how far your personal

radius

extends?

Which places can still be visited and which are not?

Thanks to a

web tool

called CalcMaps, you can now find out exactly that.

As

reported by

t-online.de

, various data on certain

coordinates

can be queried on a map

on the website

.

Movement radius of 15 kilometers: Not all federal states follow the Corona rule

It is not yet clear whether the hotly debated measure will ultimately be adopted by all

federal states

.

Lower Saxony

and

Baden-Württemberg

are already opposing themselves

for the time being until new

corona infection

numbers give rise to the implementation of the new rule.

If you

would still like to try

the

tool

and live in a

small town

, it is best to use these instructions:

  • Call up the website of Calcmaps in your

    browser

    .

  • Click on “

    Measure

    radius

    on map”.

  • Enter your

    address

    in the empty text field as follows: 

    street

    ,

    house number

    ,

    city

    .

  • Click on "

    Radius KM

    "

    below the text field

    , then select "

    15 km

    ".

15 kilometer radius due to corona pandemic: Tool is useful for small places

However, the result is only really meaningful in

small towns

.

However

, if you live

in a

city

or a

community

with a large area, it is not so easy.

Because with the regulation, a

15-kilometer radius

around the entire

place of residence

counts

- i.e. around the whole of

Kassel

.

If you want to know how far the area extends, you have to move the circle with the mouse to any position on the

city ​​limits

.

To do this, just click on the red point in the middle of the

map

and then drag the center to the appropriate location.

The

radius can be

adjusted in the

same way

.

To do this, click on the blue point on the outer edge of the circle and drag the circle larger or smaller with the mouse.

At the top right you can see the exact radius and the circular area.

However, it seems unlikely that

citizens will

actually have to determine their radius themselves

in the event of a

movement

restriction

.

If you want to satisfy

your

curiosity, the

CalcMaps

tool

is a useful option.
